History[edit | edit source]
Bhaalist Resurgence[edit | edit source]
 | Spoiler warning: The following content contains unhidden spoilers for Act 3. |  |
After rumors of Bhaalist activity surfaced in Baldur's Gate, Jaheira ordered her Harpers to look into the machinations of the Cult of Bhaal, letting them uncover as much information as possible while she led another force of Harpers into the Shadow-Cursed Lands to defeat Ketheric Thorm. However, as Jaheira ordered the Harpers to concentrate their efforts in finding the Rashemaar, Chelvin and her cell of Harpers were either killed or captured, only to be brought to Orin; Chelvin herself was strangled to death by a doppelganger by name of Hemm, who was already disguised as her[1].
The sole survivor of the Harper cell, a raw recruit by the name of Geraldus, would be used a live bait for Jaheira and the party to contact, in an attempt to ambush and silence them[2].
